I can hear a tapping noise from my engine, and cannot get a straight answer from my mechanic except that if it "bothers " me, he can do a valve adjustment for $200. The only thing that bothers me is if it is a warning that my engine is in trouble. Yes, it has been using more oil, but I check it regularly and it has never been really low; just an occasional half pint is needed. Can anyone explain whether this noise is a harbinger of doom or not?
